Half a dozen political consultants and polling firms said in interviews that Cuomo has become persona non grata in the consulting world — with some shying away from helping him rebuild his career and make another run for governor
ALBANY, N.Y. — It was a long-running quip in New York politics that Andrew Cuomo didn’t need campaign operatives — he was his own strategist.
Cuomo has little time to act if he wants to run in the Democratic primary in June. Petitions are due in seven days, and he’ll likely need double the required 15,000 signatures to stave off challenges to the petitions’ validity. He could also plot a bid as an independent, giving him more time to collect signatures and get on the general election ballot., show Cuomo down but not out.
While Cuomo has always kept a small, tight-knit group of advisers, he would likely need to rely on consulting firms more than in the past since he would not have the party apparatus or unions to help him circulate petitions or build a get-out-the-vote force. Most unions have already committed their support to Hochul.
His aides have pointed out that Eliot Spitzer, who resigned as governor in 2008, was able to get enough petition signatures within a week to run for New York City comptroller in 2013 — although Spitzer just needed signatures in the city while Cuomo would need at least 100 in each of half of New York’s congressional districts.
“Political people do not want to piss him off because what if he wins — then their future business could be hurt. But they also don’t want to go near him because it might ruin their reputation.”
